Can you point me to any point in this interview where Akala race-baits? On the contrary, all I've ever seen him do is call for working class solidarity. Read his work and you will see that he continually points at that Whites in Easter House, Croxteth, Sunderland, etc, all suffer from the same kinds of barriers to success. If merely pointing out that racism exists in society is "race-baiting" then I think you are being a snowflake. We need cross-community solidarity and solutions for all. At the same time, we need flexible policies that are relevant for each community. Akala talks sense.

Paul Judkins I didn't demonise it. Neither did Akala.

Whenever I listen to Akala with a more critical ear and not just being taken in by his raw intelligence, abundant knowledge and charisma I am always left wondering what does he actually stand for. He is brilliant at critiquing the problems, analysing what's wrong and that's all he seems to do. And that will always draw an audience as people love to feel they are on the side of righteousness standing against the dark forces of evil. That seems to get the dopamine flowing in the brain. (I am no exception) So, to my surprise at about 20.45 minutes in, he is asked what policy would he offer up to the government if asked - and this is it: - "REMOVE" troublesome/troubled kids from the cities, 12 years of age and older and put them on farms in Cambridge, train them get them to swim in the lake with the benefit that the kids who do want to study won't be distracted or stopped from studying whilst youth workers can work with the troubled youth on these community run 'boarding schools'. Sounds like Borstal to me! And who is going to be in charge of 'removing' kids and sending them to 'farms'. I don't believe this is the way to go, though others may disagree. It's nothing more than an idea straight out of the Babylon pocketbook to identify the rotten eggs and segregate them based on class and race. Akala - give some more time to meditating on what the vision can be for humanity overall and share that some time. I and am sure others would love to hear what your super brain would come up with.

@@revol148 lol. There's no money in scottish history. In scotland our history is being ignored now. It's all lgbt, the joy of refugees and equality for women. Pushing back against whiteness is a theme that is being taught. Akela epitomises the rubbing out of white achievements. He barely talks about what happened when blacks revolted in Haiti and attacked each other because his narrative says it would all be great if it wasnt for whites. His isnt the truth, its somewhere in the middle.

What a brilliant interview! I love it from about 21:00 to the end, where he highlights the link between school exclusions and the predictability of crime and incarceration. His suggestion of boarding schools is really interesting, but I'd go a step further to suggest a profound review of our entire schooling system - which I just can't refer to as education in any real sense of the word. At the moment, it's plumbed the depths of institutional systematic abuse, and distorts the life perspective of pretty well all who are exposed to it, including the teachers. The kids don't like it, the parents don't like it, and the teachers don't like it - and no-one likes the social problems it creates. Coincidentally, I've been writing an article on precisely this topic this evening not that long before watching this. Thanks both of you for a riveting 25 minutes.

Also Akala made a great point about Britain's focus on Americas history of racism, and how it's a subtle way to divert attention from our own history. Like when I was in school, we only learned about the plantations in the USA. There was little to no mention of the British slave colonies of Jamaica or Barbados. We just watched roots, and learned about how evil the Americans were.

Agree with akala, 💯 I remember in the eighties taking trips too various parts of the UK. As a result it exposed me too many scenarios that helped along the way, independence, overconing many early life lessons that I feel young people now do not have. As akala says it would be cheaper to send all those people in jail than to imprison them. Is this another syndicate that would rather benefit from people demise than see them prosper. We all have a responsibility to to make it better for the next generations and should all work together to HELP the youth as they are the future.

Brilliant interview... didnt even know about this channel until they interviewed Akala.

There were plenty of poor white people in the Caribbean, perhaps further back than Akala's grandparents' time but I mean Muhammad Ali's grandfather was an Irishman and before the wealthy colonialists atomised the two groups, poor white Irish and English people often rebelled alongside their black brethren.

These 2 are searingly intelligent and on point. All Brits should be made to watch this and learn a bit about their sordid history.

David Britain’s is especially recent, sordid, and under publicised. Let’s get real and stop hiding behind excuses

Akalia is an inspiration and my bro at least before he was a poet and a scholar he made mistakes but at least he's human

Always impressed when hear Akala speak. He is a credit to young black men in Britain.

Thanks for this interview. Always learn and enjoy a better life view from Akala.👍🏽👏🏾🙏🏽

Ash is such a good interviewer.

Ash Sarkar is so beautiful, ❤️ she’s a queen 💯 anyway... great interview 🙌

He hates Britain and white people same as her

100% overreliant on an american anti-racist model. Also i would argue many south asians overreliant on an african-american or black british model for anti-racism work. Which i get cos it can feel v scary to speak the truth about western colonial interests in south asia and the middle east without sounding like a dangerous terrorist, but that's exactly what they want. It feels safer to advocate for our black brethren than for ourselves.

Apart from shia muslims south asian and middle eastern people are too scared to combat imperialism. I guess it's easier to go along with US and UK blacks.

South asians have internalised colonialism so much, but as you say, it does feel safer to go along with US/UK blacks.

In fact I have seen south asians have so much sympathy for blacks when it comes to racism, but then believe everything that racist say when it comes to asians.

Most white working class people are not racist. Anomosities towards immigrants are inevitable since both sections are competitors for resources and services. The history of disadvantaged white people lies in thousands of years of enslavement to feudalism. Which we share with all poorer people from many areas of the known world. Racism although unacceptable and extreme is generated by any ruling class. Advantage and disadvantage and disparity of health between us makes for social division. I myself am no friend of the human race the travesty of the condition renders me compassionate but realistic. I am a true Christian by nature and politically communist. My allegiance is to God and the teachings of Christ whose sacrifice was for all of us. May God help you to resolve our divisions and bring salvation to this humanised world.

I love listening to this man so well spoken. It gos deeper than skin though. I lived in England and was turned away from pubs and clubs because of my accent

I want to see him and Jordan Peterson have a discussion.

@K. C. by idiots you mean your mom and dad, right?

I'm so glad there are people out there who can see the ideal end point but also understand that we have to get there in small steps to ensure we never fall backwards. I always have "skip to the end" in my head (a la "Spaced") but looking at any change, however small, in history, I realise, it takes time to embed a new normal into the mind of the everyday folks.

As a deeply frustrated middle age white man,one of the great frustrations has been the absence of black voices online,even at the level of crude protest.There appears to be almost no black presence to oppose the din of ignorant racist,explicit or otherwise, self serving white identity politics.I only wish there were many Akala`s to thwart the rising tide of right wing hate and wonder why there is no apparent gathering around his deeply educated voice ?? What has happened ? - Is everyone so taken with the titillations and sensual seductions of the hip hop industry ? Are the names of Malcom X,Nelson mandela,Dr.king,James Baldwin,Cornel west and others,falling on deaf ears,failing to inspire ?? - That can`t be the case,so it must be exposure,right ?

Ash is so so cute

I need to read his book but I swear he’s too intelligent for me that I probably wouldn’t even understand it. I just love him!!

Thank you for such and informative and eye opening video! Ash Sarkar has amazingly beautiful skin by the way! Peace.

Ash Sarkar. Another person who like to throw the support I gave for racial equality back in my face. Thanks Ash

When Akala drops them trews *sighs dreamily*

I came for Akala but real talk, Ash Sarkar is a sick interviewer.

So glad this great man talks about growing having a Scottish mum and Jamaican father. Not many folk in London know that

She's absolutely beautiful and she did a fantastic job with the probing questions with this interview. And you know that Akala's going to atomically annihilate any interview he's in. His points about Korean revenge cinema not making us think all Koreans are vengefully violent, Italian Mafia movies don't make us think that most Italians are mafiosos, etc.

"it's 2022 and PM Jeremy Corbyn"... that has not aged well

A real meeting of the mind.

Great interview, Akala is a dude and always worth listening to and excellent questions from Ash. Wonder if humanity will ever get past focusing on pseudo differences such as skin colour and focus instead on the things we all have in common.

Yes! Thank you for this wonderful interview!

It's so amazing how important it is too people of color to come live with white people. One could almost call it an obsession.

As a white boy from Handsworth in the the 80s, let me say "I feel ya blood." But seriously, I do want to read this book.

Excellent views of the impact of British Empire, so insightful. Looking through a mirror from the back of the frame. Caribbean examples are so revealing and shine a light into darkest ideology.

Akala's vision for an alternative education/support system for disenfranchised inner city youth sounds familiar. In the 1980s, I worked in Inner London Education Authority (ILEA) 'special' boarding schools, situated in towns on the outskirts of London and set up for young people with 'emotional and behavioural difficulties' (EBD) from inner London, working class, often impoverished families, who had been expelled from mainstream schools. The striking and potent difference (that I can imagine) between the boarding school model proposed by Akala and the 1980s version of 'special' schools, is that Akala's schools would be 'community'-led. Fantastic idea.

good interview. love this guy. much respect!!!
